What a privilege it is to be able to testify to the healing power of God! As a lifelong student of Christian Science, I am deeply grateful for the steadfastness and courage exercised by my mother in her early study of Christian Science. Attendance as a pupil in a Christian Science Sunday School and church membership were stepping-stones to the many healings that have taken place in my experience.

My husband, who is a devoted student of this religion, had a beautiful healing of ulcerated colitis, which brought him into Christian Science after our marriage. Our two teen-age sons attend Sunday School and have had many healings, including a broken wrist, tonsillitis, and the putting aside of glasses. Their understanding of God as the source of intelligence has always been effective, and they have acknowledged the good results of their prayers.

The spiritual growth that came to me while proving that God is the only healer is a blessing that words can never adequately express. Throughout the years I had never properly handled the belief of heredity and the fear of cancer. Several deaths in my father's family had been attributed to this cause; and when my father, who was not a Christian Scientist, was told that he had cancer of the throat, I failed to see the unreality of this disease. While he was in the hospital undergoing surgery, I noticed a lump on my breast, and shortly after, something seemed to be developing in my throat. Although my fear was very great, I recognized the completely mental nature of disease. I knew that once the fear was handled and my thinking disciplined, healing would take place.
